You should ignore that poster, bro
He wanted to bench Kawhi, Green and Splitter during the 2014 playoffs..
His skills were apparent last season. Kid just needed (and still needs) experience. The big question mark on Kyle was if he could play defense in the NBA and he's made yuge strides in that area. Next year I expect he will be more involved offensively. As I said last year...future Spurs star.

not splitter.
Thanks for the tip
PopTheGoat is definitely SAGirl.
How this kid became controversial is beyond me. He's on a rookie contract. He's a late first round pick. He isn't your girl friend or mom so you shouldn't have angry emotions. He hasn't cost us any championships nor any FA signing.. Just ignore him. It's clear he has pops confidence. Whether that confidence extends to the second round is anybody's guess. But you can't say "kawhi omg 30pts" and then "it shouldn't count bc Memphis isn't a real playoff team" in regards to Kyle
You also can't compare Kyle to any other draft pick. Just stop thinking about it and enjoy his hustle. Next year he'll be a different player. I'm excited that we have players like Kyle who aren't Manu dependent. Cuz next year.....
What a dumbass troll. You're getting ignored bud
Some fellows want to see him fail to just prove their points. Pretty pathetic tbh.
Yes I think there is a big element of this, they want him to screw the team bc they want to be right. Not even happy when the kid helps us win games.
It's astonishing.
Yeah, and their points are so lame. Haven't the spurs drafted enough athletic guys already? Is there some conspiracy that he's gonna take kawhi's spot? Do you get a medal if you point out that his athleticism may not be good enough? (On a related note, have you noticed our starting point guard isn't playing well? )
I get it. You're hung up on his nickname and you're enamored with athletes over guys that can play. You want individuals that dunk or hit threes rather than team guys who play defense and draw fouls. A guy who dribbles to his spot and hits an elbow jumper isn't sexy. Kyle has been better than Green and Simmons on every team they've been on together. Green is really starting to show some maturity to go with all that athletic ability, and I'm happy for him, but he's not a better player than Kyle Anderson is. Kyle is the only Spurs player that physically exerts his will on the other team. He always plays to his strengths, he always tries to make the best play available for either himself or a teammate, he's ridiculously long, has quick hands and is a better leaper than anyone gives him credit for. Right now he's filling in minutes, and every second that he allows Kawhi Leonard to rest is just gravy. Nobody is depending on him yet, but suddenly one day you'll look up and he'll be a big contributor to the team and teams will be throwing money at him to leave. None of you guys will be around by then. I know, because it happened to Cory Joseph and you never hear those guys speak up anymore about how much he sucked.
nobody wants that .. but you do have your player fans
see SAGirl accounts 1 and 2
That's not really much of a defense.
it was to reference the racism card he always plays.
Valid points you make. I'll agree with Leonard resting while he plays as one benefit. We'll see how it unfolds. As for Joseph, I'm still bummed they let him go but I get the $ element
Minutes for game 4:
20:54
this serie is quite meaningless as regards as minutes, stats etc... tbh but Kyle did not do much with his 17 mpg, he had been pretty terrible in fact
You'll need to point out who wants Kyle to fail and where they implied that.
The main questions are:
Will Pop go 10 players when it really counts?
Will kyle or kmart be player #10?
Exactly how many minutes will that player get ?
Some of you have said "kyle will get the minutes, he's been playing well, he's deserved it, etc..." but then get chicken when asked how many minutes you think he'll get.
Yes, we all got this. That's why it was strange that you were running around saying "Where's Chinook and SAGirl?" after the first game. Like, if we all agree the first round doesn't count, why does it warrant anyone bumping this thread either way?
Yes, that's a very important question. I agree.Will kyle or kmart be player #10?
This, on the other hand, is not an important question. Will Pop have a legit 10th spot/fourth-wing spot? Sure, that's a fine question. But no one but you cares about specific numbers. Seriously, what comes from it besides starting silly semantic debates?Exactly how many minutes will that player get ?
So it's important to ask if player #10 will be Kyle or Kmart, but irrelevant to ask how many minutes they'll get.
Kyle should have gotten the 2 minutes that Kmart played!!
Lol whatever, coward. Run away.
some of you take this so serious.![]()
[QUOTE=Blake;8547617]So it's important to ask if player #10 will be Kyle or Kmart, but irrelevant to ask how many minutes they'll get./QUOTE]
Yes. We're talking about a 10th rotation player here, so there's obviously a threshold. But you're not asking for a threshold. You're asking for a specific number. All that does is allow people like you to try to win silly semantic debates. ("You said he'd play 12mpg. He only played 11.")
No one considers two minutes a rotation spot.Kyle should have gotten the 2 minutes that Kmart played!!

You're the one who tried to call people out after the first game and are now retreating like after the next three. I've pretty much left this thread alone, since the question will only start being relevant next weekend.Lol whatever, coward. Run away.
LOL at Anyone who thinks that any type of minutes in the post-season are meaninglessespecially in a close out game. He'll average at least 10 mins next round.
The only one who really cares to make a whole argument about this is Blake and he pretty much lost his argument in the first round bc Kyle was consistently the 10th man in minutes and spot getting off the bench. Then Blake conditioned his position on this, that, and the other.
Frankly, I don't care about this thread or issue at all, like not at all.
I only cared that Kyle would play in the playoffs, which is what I stated in the beginning and he has. I think he will also play in the second round, but only Blake cares to make a whole issue about role and minutes. Will he get more than Kmart? I don't care about that either. I think Kmart has a spot depending on situation and if we need his particular skill set bc other guys aren't making shots. I don't even discard the possibility that Simmons or Boban will see minutes bc they also have a particular skill set that may come in handy. Pop may originally start with a short rotation and then go deeper depending who he feels will help at different points and based on what OKC is doing, but Kyle has consistently been getting minutes and as Pop himself said, he's part of the rotation, why would he eject him at this point?
Blake, you are the only one getting defensive here bc you were the only one who wanted to be right about this. You have attracted sympathizers among the Kyle hate crew-Kikoluna, TGY and a few others- and I don't even bother with those guys bc there is no purpose. You are reaching the point of no purpose too.
Good lord.![]()
Ok, what is your "threshold"? 12mpg?
